Hey readers of my story, Creaturess of the Night here bringing you another story brought to you in part by the craziness of my insane obsessed mind. I am sorry for the long update periods but I have 4 new chapters here that I hope yawl like them. Please read and review. Because reviews make me very happy and gave me inspiration. Not to mention they make me feel like less of a weirdo and more loved=). So please review because if not Erik bugs me all the time that my writing is to weird. Plus reviews make him happy too and we all know what happens when Erik is not happy. So hope you enjoy. P.S. I do not own anything that has to do with Love Never Dies (although I wish I did.) Erik looked at him and saw the hurt present in his eyes. Erik looked down at the keys of the piano and back into his eyes and replied "Because I did not know." Gustave looked confused and asked "Did not know what?" Erik looked steadily at him and replied "Your mother never told me that you were born. I did not know you existed until that day I first met you." Gustave looked at him with shock and there was a little bit of anger in his eyes. Erik said "The day that I heard you play the melody on the piano I suspected I was your father and when I was questioning you I realized that we were kindred spirits when I unmasked myself and you ran screaming (he noticed the look of guilt in Gustave's eyes about that incident) when your mother came in I pressed her to tell me the truth. She did. She told me that truth that I was really your father but I made her promise not to tell you because I did not want you to know that you were the son of a hideously deformed monster." Gustave replied "But you are not a hideously deformed monster. I am really sorry that my screaming and running away made you think that." He burst into tears and Erik instantly felt guilty. Erik hugged him and said "Gustave your behavior does not make me think that. I have always thought it. Ever since I first saw my face I have always thought that I was a hideously deformed monster." Gustave looked up into his eyes and asked "Really my behavior did not cause you to think that?" Erik replied "Really. I give you my word that your behavior had nothing to do with it. Most people react like that." Gustave said "I do not know why. You are not a hideously deformed monster because you are a very selfless person. I mean after the way you treat mom and me and Raoul who it did not look like you knew very well. You are really selfless, kind hearted, caring, and compassionate." Erik replied "Thank you for that Gustave. I did know Raoul I knew him ever since he and your mother met at the opera house." Gustave asked "You were there then?" Erik nodded and replied "Yes, I was."
Gustave asked "Will you tell me the story?" Erik smiled at him and replied "I will tell you soon I promise." Gustave nodded and asked "Where did mom go?" Erik replied "She is letting Raoul's parents know that he is gone." Gustave nodded and Erik noticed the look of distaste on his face. Erik asked "What is that face for?" Gustave looked at him innocently and asked "What face are you talking about?" Erik smiled and replied "The one that clearly says you do not like Raoul's parents." Gustave shrugged and said "I do not like them one bit." Erik raised an eyebrow and asked "Why?" Gustave replied "Because every time mom took me there his mother would always pinch my cheeks and squeeze me and his father would pat me on the shoulder or back. And they would always make me eat this high class horrible tasting food which they did not know I fed to their dog. Also they would make me sit for hours listening to them talk about boring stuff like what to do with my life how to be a future vicomte and all that stuff." Erik stared at him silently for a few minutes. Erik shook his head and said "That does not sound like fun at all. Being played with like a rag doll and then being told how to do something that you do not want to do." Gustave shook his head and replied "It was not fun at all. Sitting there bored out of my mind when I wanted to run around and be a kid or play the piano and things that I normally love to do." Erik shook his head and said "This is why I do not like rich people." Gustave looked at him and replied "I can see why." Erik nodded and said "Yeah I just generally do not like people." He looked at him and replied "I can understand that. I have seen how people act and I can understand why you do not like people that much." Erik looked at him and said "I want you to make me a promise though."
Gustave looked back at him and asked "What is it?" Erik replied "I want you to promise me that no matter how much you hate people you will not be anti-social or a recluse." Gustave looked at him and said "I promise that I will not be anti-social or a recluse no matter how much I dislike people." Erik replied "Thank you. I have been there and I do not want you to be treated like an outcast like I am." Gustave smiled and said "Thank you for being concerned about me." Erik smiled and replied "It is not a problem." They looked up when the door to Erik's room opened. Christine walked in with puffy red eyes. She whispered "Raoul's parents are on their way." Erik got up and hugged her and said "I will start working on the funeral arrangements if you want me to." Christine replied "Thank you so much my angel. I would like you to help me and Raoul's parents with the funeral arrangements." Erik instantly felt uneasy and asked unsurely "Are you absolutely positive that you want me to help all of you with the funeral arrangements?" Christine nodded and replied "Yes, I am absolutely sure. You have always been there for me when I needed you and this is a time when I will need you again and I want you to be there to help me through it and to keep me strong." Erik said "I will always be here for you but are you sure that I should be working with his parents I mean Raoul hated me."
Christine replied "Right now I really do not care if they do not approve of you being here. You are a really important part of my life and if they ever liked me as much as they say they did then they will back off and let it be." Erik raised an eyebrow and said "Way to tell them." Christine smiled and replied "I have learned from a great teacher." Erik smiled and said "I will gladly take all the credit for that." Gustave walked over and asked "Mom, do Raoul's parents know that I am not really his son?" Christine shook her head and replied "No." Gustave asked "So you did not tell anyone that I was not Raoul's son." Christine replied "No, for a very long story that Erik and I will tell you later I thought that Erik was mad at me and did not want to see me ever again so I did not tell anyone that he was your father. Plus when I saw Raoul's face after I told him I was pregnant I did not want to ruin his happiness. I am really sorry that I lied to all of you." Gustave smiled at Christine and said "I forgive you mom." Christine bent down and hugged him closely. Gustave pulled away from the hug and asked "Mom can I go see Meg I want to talk to her." Christine replied "Sure, but how about all of us go I am sure we both need to talk to her too." Erik looked at Christine and nodded that he needed to talk to Meg too and tell her that he was okay and that he forgave her. They walked behind Gustave and Erik leaned over and whispered in her ear "I forgive you too." Christine smiled at him and said "Thank you Erik." Erik smiled and nodded. He grabbed her hand as they headed to Meg's room. They arrived at the door and he gave it a squeeze. Gustave reached up and knocked. The three of them stood there a few minutes before the door slowly opened and Meg stared at all 3 of them with many different emotions play across her face.
